AMMEGA Group, a global provider of belting solutions for conveying and power transmission, announced the expanded availability of Dectyl XMD, a next-generation detectable conveyor belt engineered to help food manufacturers reduce contamination risks and reinforce quality control standards. Designed to improve X-ray and metal detection sensitivity without compromising performance, Dectyl XMD is purpose-built for confectionery, bakery, snack, meat and poultry, and prepared foods environments where compliance and product integrity are non-negotiable.
At a time when food processors face increasing pressure to safeguard production lines from foreign body contamination, Dectyl XMD delivers a clear operational advantage. Its detectable formulation helps ensure that any belt fragments can be identified early in the process, helping reduce waste, prevent recalls, and protect brand reputation. To ensure detection performance across various food industry subsegments and amid varying production conditions, AMMEGA provides Dectyl XMD Test Cards that allow manufacturers to test and validate the minimum detectable size of Dectyl belt fragments within their own food processing line.
“Food safety is one of the strongest drivers in the market today. Dectyl XMD was designed to give our customers confidence in compliance, in inspection accuracy, and in the consistency of their product output,” said Bobby Bauman, Director - Global Product Line Management, Conveyor Belting at AMMEGA. “It reflects our commitment to providing solutions that are not only high-performing but also aligned with contemporary safety expectations.”
Through its leading brands, Ammeraal Beltech and Megadyne, AMMEGA continues to meet food safety and performance needs with a range of conveying and power transmission belts. Dectyl XMD aligns seamlessly with AMMEGA’s broader hygienic conveying portfolio, including Megalinear XMD and Megalinear FC, the new Megadyne belts engineered specifically for food processing environments, made with food-contact approved materials to support clean, compliant, and reliable production. Megadyne’s MegasyncTM Titanium synchronous belts set a new standard for ultra-high performance belts allowing for reduced envelope size and extended life in power transmission applications in food processing.
Together, AMMEGA’s leading brands offer comprehensive solutions toolkit to:
- Improve food safety and traceability
- Reduce unplanned downtime tied to belt wear or contamination events
- Extend belt life and lower total cost of ownership
- Enhance consistency and quality across high-volume production lines
“AMMEGA is committed to delivering conveying solutions that support safer, smarter, and more efficient production,” Bauman added. “Whether customers are modernizing existing lines or designing new operations, our portfolio provides the performance and assurance they need to meet global food safety standards.”
